The Mischievous Children

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are extremely mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, 'Do you know where God is, son?' The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, 'Where is God?!' Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, 'Where is God?!' The boy screamed and ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, 'what happened?' The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time. ..........GOD is missing, and they think we did it!

Pinarayi Vijayan criticised Amit Shah over the BJP chief's tweet on Hindi as a national language

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has weighed in on BJP chief Amit Shah's tweet on Hindi Diwas on the necessity of having a common language in India. The Home Minister on Saturday tweeted a common language would become “the mark of India's identity globally”.
Hindi Diwas is celebrated on September 14, marking the significance of the day when India's Constituent Assembly adopted Hindi as the official language.
On a Facebook post, the Kerala Chief Minister disagreed with Mr Shah on the choice of Hindi as a national language.
“Union Home Minister Amit Shah's Hindi agenda push despite nationwide protest needs to be seen as Sangh Parivar's signs to launch a new battlefield in the name of language.
